How far is a "click"?
Dear Wade:
We had a tough time tracking this one down, until we realized we were spelling "click" incorrectly. It's not "click," it's "klick," and it's military slang for "kilometer."
Although we've never served in the armed forces, the term did bring back memories of many a war movie. For example, in "Apocalypse Now," Martin Sheen's character needs to get "70 klicks above the Do Lung bridge."
